[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 197370, member: 13090"] Confirmed. I averaged the scores (center, border and extreme) of both the 70-200mm and the 85mm. Just to keep things even I only averaged data from apertures *both* lenses are capable of using, so that meant scores were taken from apertures f/2.8 through f/11 for both lenses in all three categories. That gives us three data points, against five identical apertures, for both lenses. Average score for the 70-200mm: [B]3407[/B] Average score for the 85mm prime: [B]3732[/B] A not-so paltry difference of 325 points in favor of the 85mm prime. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
